Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 > I recently found out that I have a staple line disruption. Can anyone tell me what are the symptoms and side effects of a disruption and does it usually have to be repaired. > > Thank you, > > Murielle ****************** Oh, yes, there are a few of us around. I had no real symptoms except the ability to eat a lot more than I should have been able to at less than 6 months out. I knew something wasn't right and, thankfully, my surgeon was not one of those that blames the patient, and told me to get an upper GI. Another 6 months and an additional 17 pounds later, I had a stomach transection, and all has been right with the world since. ) You probably don't have to have it repaired, unless you don't mind the weight regain and possible the return of acid reflux and a host of other co-morbs that you may be susceptible to. In other words, eventually, it'll possibly be almost as if you never had WLS. But, the decision is yours. I know it absolutely just sucks that it requires another surgery, but it is so worth it.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 I had acid pain, reflux, nausea, marginal ulcer, just not feeling good. Could eat a bit more, but not substantially. Ultimately. wt gain. I think the nausea saved me or the massive protein did, since I had to keep coating that burning pit. I gained 12# in the 4 months I had to wait. Gone now. Fixed. 12# gone. I'm me again. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.
